Coloring my world ...............

The world outside my door is a long, wide expanse of white.  The deep blue sky and the sunshine brighten my day ..... but still, all I see is white.

White ..... all shades of white are the darling colors of the decorating world.  White walls, white furniture, white floors.  Accented, of course, with "splashes of color". 

And it has been that way for a long time.  White .... white .... white.

But I can't live that way.  Maybe it is because of the long white Iowa winters.  I crave color around me.

This time of year .... it becomes harder for me.

I search for the colors of spring.  Purple crocus.  Yellow daffodils.  I order more pink impatiens and coral-colored geraniums.  I dream of lilies and lisianthus and zinnias.

On a snowy day .... I wandered into a yarn store and suddenly was surrounded by the colors of spring.

Blues, aquas, peach and pinks scream out to me ..... Touch me!!!!  Buy me!!!  I will bring you spring!!!

I fell for the screams of the spring-colored Sirens ...... luring me to unusual buying decisions.
